[DeTomaso] Robertshaw thermostat is BACK!

[bill gaino]

1362 struggled with overheat problems since I bought her in 2004. I did everything to make it cool better, Hall 45, Flowcooler pump, smaller pump pulley and 330-180... FINALLY, we found the problem was the bypass plate had too large a hole and the RS did not block the bypass flow when it should have. I got a new plate with a smaller hole and all my cooling issues went away!  It took me 15 years to solve it...... Bill
